Re: break-up before child birth
Georgia has a putative father registry where you can register your paternity, insuring notice if she tried to give up the child for adoption.
One good solution may be to see a lawyer to draw up paperwork to be filed with a court to legitimize the child. If you're in metro Atlanta, we could assist with that.
